  • An object of the present invention is to provide a carton package that is considered to meet the requirements for a package to be child resistant.
  • the object of the present invention is further to provide an improved child resistant carton package, which also prevents that the items may be pulled from the tray of the package when the package is closed.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved package with a simple construction, which is made of paper board.
  • the invention is characterized by what is presented in the characterizing part of the enclosed independent claim.
  • a typical package of the present invention according to claim 1 comprises an outer sleeve and a tray accommodated slidably within the outer sleeve and capable of motion between a closed position and an open position, and the package comprises a locking mechanism for preventing immediate opening of the package from the closed position to the open position.
  • said locking mechanism comprises
  • a package according to the invention is preferably a carton package.
  • the present invention is based on a structure of the package comprising two parts: an outer sleeve and a tray.
  • the outer sleeve is around the tray when the package is in closed position.
  • a combination of the structural elements arranged to the outer sleeve and the tray provides child proof locking mechanism for preventing immediate opening of the package from the closed position to the open position, and an additional security mechanism for preventing pull out the products from the package when the package is closed.
  • a package according to the invention comprises two large planar surfaces, namely a front surface and a back surface. Further, it comprises a first and a second sidewall, and a first and a second end wall, which are essentially perpendicular to the upper surface and to the back surface.
  • the package of the invention is formed from two parts: an outer sleeve and a tray accommodated slidably within the outer sleeve.
  • the outer sleeve forms a front surface, a back surface, a first and a second side walls and one of the end walls of the package, when the package is closed.
  • the end wall formed by the outer sleeve is a bottom part of the package.
  • Another end wall of the package is formed by the end of the tray, and it makes possible to open package and slide the tray out from the outer sleeve.
  • the tray is otherwise inside the outer sleeve when the package is closed.
  • a first end of the tray is the end, which is inside the outer sleeve, i.e. the end which is the first when tray is slid inside the outer sleeve.
  • a second end of the tray is the end, which is visible when the package is in closed position.
  • the tray comprises side walls and a bottom surface. An upper surface of the tray is open. The item(s) or product(s) to be packed are arranged on the tray inside the outer sleeve.
  • the structural elements relating to the locking mechanism of the package are constructed both to an outer sleeve and to a tray of the package.
  • the locking mechanism of the package prevents immediate opening of the package from the closed position to the open position.
  • the locking mechanism comprises a locking part arranged to the outer sleeve and positioned inside the outer sleeve, a first flap arranged to a first end of the tray and an opening flap arranged to the outer sleeve.
  • the first flap of the tray is bound outside the side wall of the tray, wherein an end of the first flap is arranged against an end of the locking part of the outer sleeve, when the package is in closed position, and thus preventing the opening of the package.
  • the opening flap and the first flap are arranged at least partly overlapping when the package is in closed position for providing releasing of the locking mechanisms by pushing the opening flap inside.
  • the opening flap and the first flap of the tray are substantially fully over-lapped when the package is in closed position.
  • the tray of the package according to the present invention comprises a projecting part arranged to a second end of the tray for preventing pull out the products from the package when the package is closed.
  • the projecting part When the package is in closed position the projecting part is inside the outer sleeve. In other words, the projecting part is folded inside the outer sleeve.
  • the projecting part is bound substantially to the same plane as the upper surface of the outer sleeve and thus it forms obstacle to take the products from the tray, since the upper surface of the tray is open.
  • the projecting part is cut out from a flap of the second end of the tray, which flap is folded inside the second end of the tray. This enables a simple blank structure.
  • the first end of the tray comprises a first flap and a second flap, which are bound outside of the side walls of the tray.
  • a first and a second flap are arranged to opposite sides of the tray.
  • the first flap and the second flap of the tray are at least partly attached to the side walls.
  • the first flap and the second flap of the tray are attached, e.g. glued, to the side walls of tray by substantially whole length of the flaps.
  • One of the flaps is a part of the locking mechanism as disclosed above.
  • the locking mechanism of the package according to the invention may be formed in such a manner that it acts correctly irrespective of is the first flap or the second flap of the tray arranged against the locking part of the outer sleeve.
  • the first flap and the second flap have a slightly different shape.
  • a length of the first flap of the tray is arranged to be greater than the length of the second flap of the tray, wherein the first flap is preferably meant to be a part of the locking mechanism.
  • the length of the first flap is dependent on the position of the opening flap in the outer sleeve.
  • the first flap of the tray is dimensioned so that it elongates to a folded line of the opening flap arranged to the outer sleeve when the package is in closed position.
  • a first flap of the tray and a locking part of the outer sleeve are arranged in a same line, wherein an end of the first flap is arranged against the end of the locking part of the outer sleeve, when the package is in closed position.
  • a locking part of the outer sleeve is typically a flap folded inside the outer sleeve.
  • a second flap of the tray is arranged to be connection with a flap of the outer sleeve arranged at the side wall of the open end of the outer sleeve, when the package is opened for preventing to draw the tray fully out from the outer sleeve.
  • the side walls of the tray are two folded by providing strong side walls and therefore more strongly built tray.
  • the first end of the tray may be made of a single wall since it is inside the outer sleeve, also in open position. It also makes a blank for the tray simpler and save material required.
  • the package according to the invention is formed from two blanks, a first blank for the outer sleeve and a second blank for the tray. Manufacturing of the package from two blanks makes possible it that the package also comprises a mechanism for preventing to draw the tray fully out from the outer sleeve.
  • the outer sleeve of the package according to the invention comprises an opening flap.
  • An opening flap may have a hinged structure. At least one side of the opening flap comprises contacting points, the opening flap is connected to the outer sleeve with connecting points before the package is opened first time.
  • the blank for the package according to the present invention is made from paper board with a weight between 100 g/m 2 and 600 g/m 2 .
  • the paper board is covered at least on one side with a coating having a thickness between 5 ⁇ m and 150 ⁇ m, more preferably between 25 ⁇ m and 75 ⁇ m. In an embodiment the paper board is covered on both sides.
